A.J. was born January 10, 1985 in Sturgeon Bay, the son of Mark and Mary (Tanck) Richard. He graduated from Sevastopol High School in 2003. He was accepted for military service after high school with the U.S. Army and served two tours in Afghanistan from 2003-2008. A.J. also served in the Army Reserves.

He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing with his family, especially dad. A.J. was selflessly helpful to others, he didn’t let life pass him by, made friends with those he met, and was non-judgmental of others.

A.J. had worked as an auto mechanic for Klemm’s Trailor’s, and Tuffy’s in Green Bay.

Those left to mourn his loss are his parents, Mark and Mary Richard of Egg Harbor; siblings, Matt Richard (his special friend, Hannah Reed) of Maribel, Heather Richard of Egg Harbor; A..J.’s, friend April; his maternal grandmother, Marietta Tanck of Egg Harbor; and paternal grandparents, Chuck and Gen Richard of Egg Harbor.

Preceding him in death were his maternal grandfather, Arnold Tanck; cousins, Jeremiah and Mindy Zak, Sarah and Tony Bauer.

Memorials may be given in his memory for youth programs at Zion Ev. Lutheran Church in West Jacksonport.
